In these trying times.....
« on: March 31, 2020, 05:09:56 PM »
I just feel I need to make a post.  I want to thank everyone that has supported Tradgang over the years.  We would not be here.  And I'm not talking just monetarily.  Those of you that have shared tips, hunts, stories, advise, etc... You all have helped make Tradgang what it is.

As we deal with this madness, I hope you all will continue to support this now 'institution' we all have created over the the last 17 years.  I had no idea this would have occurred when we started back in March 2003.

There is so much history on this site with over 3 million posts.  Some of the new members have no idea at the wealth of information that has been accumulated. 

We are so lucky to have had contributions over the years from the likes of Ron Laclair, Charlie Lamb, Jack Howard, Jim Fetrow, Gene and Barry Wensel, Biggie Hoffman, Dennt Sturgis Jr, Dean Torges, Ted Fry, Mike Fedora Sr, Bob Morrison, Cory Mattson, Matt Schuster, Fred Asbell, Ryan Rothhaar, Don Thomas, and get this, John Rook who went blind had someone read Tradgang to him.  Pretty special company we are with. 

I'd like to also thank all those that have contributed to this site via Sponsorships and Contributing members.

Mostly, I wish all of you the best as we battle through the next few months.

Take care....

Sincerely,

Terry Green

We just got 10 inches of snow and its - 25 with the windchill.  I'm ready for spring.  I had to dig out the path to my targets to shoot today.

Nothing like sitting around a campfire with friends and TG is our virtual campfire and a place we can feel safe to be.
Thanks Terry and everyone for 17 years of info, stories and sharing of adventures. :thumbsup:

This site has really helped me all through the years, but is now especially important. I am very high risk for the virus, so I am  staying in. Consequently, I am very glad to have Trad Gang available to pass the time. Thanks, guys.

And I can remember back in the day when this was just a dream of yours, Terry, and a lot of those guys you just mentioned were members of Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia.  The good old days...I for one am glad your dream came true! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This is an excellent community. Every time I ask for a bit of advice or have a question I get an overwhelming amount of responses. I haven't been here the longest, and I definitely don't post all that often, but I am truly grateful for the people here and the resource it provides. Thank you to everyone involved.
